Join in the fun as we celebrate the life of our guest-of-honor, a Century Plant affectionately known as Maya. After 50 years of preparation, Maya has shot up 37 feet through the Conservatory roof in a marvelous, once-in-a-lifetime bloom. Satisfy your curiosity about this unique desert plant and engage your senses with agave-fueled cocktails and spirits from some of the world’s best distilleries paired with delicious food bites from some of Chicago’s best multi-cultural restaurants.
